Roman conquest of Britain
By AD 43, the time of the main Roman invasion of Britain, Britain had already frequently
been the target of invasions, planned and actual, by forces of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. Like other regions on the edge of the empire, Britain had long enjoyed trading links with the Romans and their
economic and cultural
influence was a significant part of the British late pre-Roman Iron Age, especially in the south. Roman conquest of Britain
